Under "Real-Time Notification" i placed a check mark in both the "alert" & "sound" boxes. Within the four months that i have SAS Pro i have yet to receive an "alert or sound" notification that any harmful spyware, etc. was blocked. I find the absence of any alerts very unusual. I would also like to know, why do a daily scan when "real time protection" is suppose to block most exploits? Any assistance concerning the above would be most appreciated. Thank You.
